IF YOU'RE WITH ME
With you beside me, no grand plans we seek,
No distant shores, no golden sands unique.
In quiet moments where hearts softly speak,
We craft our world, so tender, so meek.
If you're with me, the stars align,
No brighter glow than your hand in mine.
In the quiet hum of life's soft will,
We weave a dream that time can't kill.
With you beside me, storms may cry,
The heavens break, the winds may sigh.
Yet love's pure flame shall never die,
Together, we script the golden sky.
If you're with me, no dream's too far,
We'll chart our course by the faintest star.
Through life's wild seas, no wound, no scar,
Just love eternal, right where we are.
If you're with me, let the world stand still,
Mountains may crumble, rivers spill.
Yet in your arms, I find my will,
A quiet strength, an endless thrill.
- WHAT IF THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE?
In the depths of contemplation's embrace,
I ponder on a concept, a vast empty space,
What if there exists no afterlife's grace,
No celestial realm, no eternal chase?
If death's cold touch seals our final fate,
And existence extinguishes like a flame's abate,
What purpose lies in this transient state,
Where mortal bounds our souls encapsulate?
No ethereal realm, no heavenly plane,
No reunions with loved ones, no eternal gain,
Would life's path unravel, in grief and pain,
Or would new perspectives in our minds remain?
No grand reunion beyond the final breath,
No eternal solace, no escape from death,
Would we find solace in embracing the depth,
Of each passing moment, with every fragile breath?
Perhaps it compels us to cherish the now,
To savor life's flavors, to deeply avow,
To create our legacies, to humbly bow,
To the fleeting beauty that time will allow.
For if this life is all that we possess,
No infinite vistas, no eternal caress,
Then let us make this fleeting existence a success,
And leave a mark, a legacy we can profess.
But in the realm of mysteries untold,
The truth eludes us, as it did of old,
In pondering this question, we must be bold,
And embrace the uncertainty, as our stories unfold.
So, whether there's an afterlife or not,
Let's strive to make our lives a thoughtful plot,
To live with love and kindness as our backdrop,
And find meaning in this life, with all we've got.
For in the end, it's the journey that we'll find,
The lives we touch, the love we leave behind,
And whether the afterlife's real or just a dream we hold,
We'll cherish this fleeting life, together, brave and bold.
